Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): No Spark, chainsaw, rotor


Question
Stihl 025 chainsaw hasn't been run in about a year.  Fueled it up but it won't start.  No spark.  Replaced plug.  Still no spark.  Good compression.  What next?  Thanks.

Answer
Hey Glenn,
What you should try doing is checking the rotor and magnet at the side or where ever the blower is. The magnet is probably weak or too far away. It shouldn't be more or less than a buissness card away. If this doesn't work write back! I will give you more assistance.
